Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2006 BTW, my sig spoils the teams. Whatthefuckever. Grey Team looks to be owning tings. I can only assume it's GSP's boys because Cote is on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lei Tong 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2006 Considering it also has Serra & Sell... yeah, probably. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2006 Elaboration on the Sell and Serra connections, plz. Or are you just saying it would make sense that GSP would pick the better fighters? I'm banking on Sell vs Cote and Lytle vs Serra as the respective finals so all of Georges dudes sweeping the other team en route to the finale would be awesome, if only to make Tito jealous.

Lei Tong 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2006 GSP has trained a good deal with Renzo in the past, who also taught Serra, who in turn taught Sell, so I imagine they've run into each other at some point. My black horse pick for the WW final is Jackson, based on being arguably the best striker in the weight class and... well, Lytle being the only other true WW (IE- not including Serra & Thomas) there worth a crap. Also, GSP sweeping with those comparative line-ups still wouldn't trump Tito, who managed to make some hilariously bad picks and still dominated the series against Shamrock. Even with bad training, there's no way I would've picked Kendall over Kalib, or Noah & Haynes over Jesse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2006 True enough. I don't think GSP is about making a star, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

starvenger 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2006 Assuming those are teams in LotC's sig, whoever picked the blue boys should be shot. So I guess they do have teams, but are Couture and GSP rival coaches? As far as I've heard, there's only those two plus a kickboxing/Muay Thai coach. Maybe it was a schoolyard pick'em?

Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2006 Who know's how it's going to work, good thing it's only a few days unitl he find out. I want Shonie Carter to win. I find him very charasmatic, and I'll think he will gain fans after this year. I'm going with the Canadian for the middleweight divison, my boy Patrick Cote.

Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2006 Patrick Cote should win the MW division I think. Either him or Pete Sell would be my guesses. Scott Smith is also a dark horse pick. I don't see Shonie Carter winning, the guy's best days are behind him. Matt Serra would win a rematch (arguably had the first one in the bag). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DRH 502 Report post Posted August 14, 2006 I'd probably have to pick Cote too. For some reason i'm not all that excited about this, and I know I should be because we are more than likely gonna get some great fights every week... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2006 Serra is a natural at the leadership role since he's so used to it. Expected to see Clementi lose, the guy should have lost to Fabio Holanda when they fought, if they had a ref that had any idea of what submissions are he probably wouldn't be on this show.

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2006 Good show but I'm not coming out of it with the "Fuck this is awesome" feeling I got after the debut of TUFIII. Shonie is hilarious and could care less about fighting. People talk shit on Rampage for being all about the cash but at least Shonie is honest about it. No GSP or Randy. Fuck that.
